Here at the edge of a lake in a shed in a small Irish town, the ordinary is made extraordinary. Within is the laboratory of PJ Rigney, boundary-pushing begetter of hand-made spirits who slow distills gin with natures finest oriental botanicals and gunpowder tea.
Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin offers a rich tapestry of flavours, meticulously crafted with oriental botanicals and Irish character. This gin opens with a fresh and invigorating burst of citrus, underpinned by the subtle, smoky spice of gunpowder tea. The palate is treated to a complex interplay of juniper and anise, accompanied by the deeper, earthy notes of meadowsweet and cardamom, which transition into a crisp, flavourful complexity.
Nose:
The aroma of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is marked by a bold infusion of exotic botanicals, including star anise and grapefruit, complemented by the more traditional gin notes of juniper and orris root. This aromatic bouquet is enhanced by the unique addition of gunpowder tea, which introduces a smoky, slightly peppery layer that's both distinctive and inviting.
Palate:
On the palate, Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin is vibrant and zesty. Citrus notes lead, followed by the tingling spice of green tea and cardamom. The gin’s complexity is deepened by a herbaceous quality from meadowsweet, with subtle hints of earthiness and a well-rounded mouthfeel.
Finish:
The finish of this gin is long and lingering, characterized by a refreshing citrus tang and a mild, spicy heat from the gunpowder tea. The end notes are clean, with a hint of floral and citrus oil that invites another sip.
